Wisdom of Ben Sira 31:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ The man who loves gold will not be free from sin;
    the man who pursues wealth will be led astray by it.
⁶ Many have come to their downfall as the result of gold,
    finding themselves face to face with ruin.
⁷ It is a stumbling block to those who are avid for it,
    and every fool is trapped by it.
